I think you've just discovered the major reason for the British disinterest in serious news.

or as the French say, phwoar alors.

There is a French radio station called FIP - for the Paris area - which is actually the best radio station in the world.

and in addition to that has THE most alluring female presenters. Never has news that the périphérique is bloqué sounded better. Sorry, not very PC but hey.

I was going to direct you to Taxi Driver but I think you should take a little break in Paris. Your recent posts hint at a certain longing...

....and it is just as magnifique as you might imagine. I played in one of the only two country bands in Paris, along with Stephen "Year in the merde" Clarke who is an old mate of mine.

Is she the best that they can do?
You're full of envy and you forget Angela Ripon?
Shame on you Hepworth.

Anna Ford.

I have a certain fascination for Emily actually. Known as "Bad girl" in our household.

It'll be bleeding German weather girls next.

...word for Kate Silverton?

One of the perks of being Welsh (apart from enjoying the occasional trouncing of England at Twickers) is getting to see Lucy Owen reading the news.

How did this page from the Nuts website end up on The Word site?

...in this country. And not scary cyborgKaplinsky types. At least that French woman looks human. Bof! (etc)
